Literature Assignment

Some questions about "The Witches"

Here are the questions I would like you to answer during the winter holidays. Remember not to copy the questions. Just write the complete answers, in a tidy way, to hand them in on Wednesday, 6th August. Be careful! Because some questions have two parts! And remember that you can use the book to answer all questions... that's great help!

1- Who was the author of the book? Write what you remember about his life.

2- Who was the illustrator? Which was his relationship with the author?

3- What is strange about grandma's thumb? Do we know what happened to it?

4- What do witches look like? (Write a full description!).

5- How did Ranghild Hansen disappear?

6- Which are the steps you have to follow to prepare the "Formula 86 Delayed Action Mouse-Maker"? (Write them in bullet points, as in a recipe).

7- How did Bruno's dad react when the grandma told him that Bruno was a mouse?

8- Draw the dining-room scene, in which witches are turned into mice.

9- Mention three things that grandma did to adapt her house for the boy, who was a mouse.

10- Did you like the story? Why/Why not? (Give a good, complete answer to this question).

I know you'll be able to answer all these questions. Good luck! 

And happy holidays! Enjoy!

Today you worked very well with the Ipads. Your mission was to change the end of chapter 15, "The Mouse-Burglar". And you had plenty of ideas!!!

Squeeze your brains!

Think, think and think!

Today we worked a lot! Again, you also showed you're extremely good actors and actresses and we also did a 5x2 routine. The questions you could think of were highly creative! 



Great job kids! I can't wait for Friday to know how the story goes on!

How disgusting they are!

Witches and more witches...

It doesn't matter if they are young or old... But witches are very similar! However, they also have some differences... And that's what you tried to write in the Venn diagrams:



Great job!
Miss Luchi.

Poor Bruno!

What will happen now?

Today we started predicting what's going to happen in the next chapter... Please, read the following two chapters so that we know how the story goes on!

A new recipe

We are great witches!

Today we had to create new, amazing recipes so that kids would not turn into mice, but into something different. You managed to create fantastically horrible recipes... with disgusting results! 



Well done 5th form!

Mice everywhere!

Acting out

Today you really surprised me and the teachers around because they didn't know what was going around... You were all mice! How nasty you were! But you were excellent actors and actresses who could use English in a very meaningful way. And most importantly, you showed feelings through your characters, which is something not very easy. Fantastic result 5th Form! Please, go on working this way! I'm sure it's the key to enjoy reading!



And... are you thinking about the new recipe? Don't forget about it!

The Witches

Reading is great fun!
I love our Literature lessons! Thank you for showing so much interest in the lessons and in the book. I enjoy the reading moments a lot with you. And you are making a great effort to read with passion and energy... and some of you seem to be real witches when you read!


See you on Wednesday kids! Hmmm... have you eaten chocolates today? If I were you I would be very careful tomorrow, at 9 o'clock. Let's cross our fingers so that you are not changed into a mouse! Hahahahaha!

"Freckle Juice" is over... "The Witches" are waiting for us!

Before starting reading...

We have been working on the author's biography. We looked for information about him.
Remember that before reading, learning about the author and his life is essential to understand what he writes about and the way in which he writes.


And something that is also important is to set our expectations before reading. And that's exactly what you did:



 I hope we can read, analyse and enjoy the story together!
